As much as I want the OP's claim to be true, I can't agree. There are too many other factors to consider than just holy book fallacies.
The rate of reproduction among religious people is astonishing. Just look at the recent comments from Pope Francis on the "bitterness of loneliness", the population explosion in the Middle East, Catholic views on contraception, the cast of 19 and Counting, etc. If the birth rate should decline there is still missionary work to be done. See evangelicals in Africa or spies for Christ in China.
There is the whole immortality and "theme park in the sky" belief to contend with as well. I don't see that being set aside until humans figure out how to conquer death.
Who is to say different religions won't spring up after the demise of the Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or any of the other major religions. We (humans) have been worshipping something or other for thousands of years.
I think the most we can hope for, in this country anyhow, is a world in which religion no longer plays such a prominent role in the state or society. Like the UK? I can't say because I don't live there.
